First make sure you get the right kind of rice - short to med grain, not long. Cook rice pref. in a rice cooker. After rice is done and cooling in a separate bowl (wooden is best), drizzle rice vinegar(you can also use regular) over rice, mixing and fanning at the same time. When cool, form into whatever shape (oblong or triangle), add dried seaweed(nori), sesame seeds etc. Enjoy!!! Also it helps to wet your hands with aliitle water when forming rice.
Oh, it's super easy! Here's the easiest way that my kids use to make a rice ball:
Take a small bowl, and put a sheet of plastic wrap over it. Put in a spatula full of rice (about as big as your fist). Sprinkle with salt if you like. Gather up the edges of the plastic wrap, twist it together, and then shape the hot rice into a ball or a triangular shape (it'll be inside the plastic wrap, so your fingers won't get dirty).
And that is it! Basic rice ball.
It's really easy to make it fancier. You can add stuff to the middle, like chopped pickles, or maybe a piece of cheese if you aren't vegan. Put it in before you gather the plastic up, and it will be in the middle of the rice ball.
After you make the rice ball, you can wrap it in nori seaweed (super healthy!), or sprinkle it with toasted sesame seeds. Or both.
Traditionally, rice balls are made with fish (but since you are vegetarian, I won't get into that) or with an "umeboshi" pickled plum in the middle. The umeboshi helps kill bacteria and germs, so your rice ball will stay fresh longer. But many people hate the taste.
Hope that helps! Rice balls are easy and a lot of fun to make! And they work great on picnics.
